There was going to be an episode of BL8TN tomorrow.  But there's not.  I have to do some editing on this show, and didn't get done what I wanted to today.  And I have to bake cookies tonight for a coworker's going away party tonight.

So, next week folks!  I'll be discussing Anansi Boys with Diane - a listener that lives in London. 

It's been a rough couple of weeks.  Thanks to those of you that were there for me - you don't know how much it meant.

Today's show is a long episode, so I keep the intro babble to a minimum.  Why is it long?  Because when you get four podcasters together in Skype to discuss the Nintendo DS, the conversations is fantastic!  I'm joined by Zach of the Geek Survival Guide, Doug from Geek Acres, and Christiana Ellis...the Sound of Awesome!

We mention a lot of games, and since I don't have an Amazon referring thingy, I'm not giving links, and so the only link I'm going to provide has to be one of the coolest sites ever!  The Pokemon Global Trade Station is the coolest, and I just spent 10 minutes watching Pokemon fly around the globe instead of finishing these notes.

Promo from this week - 3 Heroes Podcast.

Coming soon - a feedback episode - where I'll go over the voice mails, e-mails, and yes comments!  Libsyn hasn't been sending my comment e-mails, so I'll go over the comments for the past couple of episodes.  And who knows, there might be some surprises as well.  You can leave feedback by leaving a comment on the site, sending me e-mail at mainthepa @gmail.com or calling my voice mail line at (206)338-3942.

Have a great week everyone, and for those in the US, have a very Happy Thanksgiving.

P.S.  I was lucky enough to do the intro for Episode 18 of 7th Son Book Three: Destruction.  If you found your way from there - welcome!

Lazy show notes - welcome to the second special edition of BL8TN.  Why is it special?  Because my son joins me for a short media review of Bridge to Terebithia.  That alone is special.  That and I play and read all the feedback that I couldn't fit into last week's episode.

And we end the show with a song from the band Ceann with the song "Pretty on the Inside".

Links to follow after I've gotten over the day that I've had.  It's been a day.  And a half.  Literally.  I worked a day and a half today.  And had to deal with bad traffic.  And...but you don't want to hear about that.  I think I'm going to have a drink.

Have a good one guys - new episode in two weeks...what will it be?  I have no idea as of yet!

Wow - these show notes are going to be long - so for right now they are going to be be lazy.  And here's a warning guys - the show today is of a slightly different format.  It's really long, and there is no feedback section.  I'm going to try to come out with a feedback special edition in the next week or so - life willing.  Stuff has been very hard the past two weeks - but I want to keep getting some sort of a show coming out.

So what's on deck for today?  Well, Heather Welliver and Marc Bailey of GrailWolf's Geek Life join me to talk about new fall tv.  And TV in general.  We cover just about everything, so there is bound to be something you will find interesting.

There will be more extensive show notes, but for right now - a big shout out to the guys at the ScotchCast, who recently played my promo.

And on November 1st, I want you to check out Playing For Keeps, the latest offering from Mur Lafferty.  Now if you have been following me on Twitter, you will know that I'm her Baker-at-arms.  So go check her out - you don't want me to have to bring out the flaming spatula - do you?

If you can get feedback in before the weekend, I'll include it in the special edition.  E-mail me at mainthepa@gmail.com, leave a comment here, or send me voice mail at 206-338-3940.

And as always, the intro and outtro music is by Peanut Butter and Julie.  Look them up in Itunes, and buy a song or two.
